📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Stripe integration documentation now explains first-time order restrictions for Dub-created discount codes, the workaround for trial subscriptions or $0 invoices, and the effect of changes on future codes.

Document first-time order restriction

Adds guidance about Stripe’s first-time order restriction, the “Eligible for first-time order only” setting, and changes applying only to future discount codes.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to abebb

The Stripe integration documentation adds a first-time-order setting but does not yet describe all relevant exclusion cases, so users could misunderstand eligibility. This is a bounded documentation-correctness issue that is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up; the remaining wording cleanup is trivial.

By default, discount codes created via Dub are restricted to [first-time orders](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/advanced/discounts#limit-by-first-time-order) in Stripe. That means the code can only be redeemed by customers who have never made a purchase (Stripe treats any successful payment or paid invoice as a prior purchase).

If your signup flow creates a trial subscription or a $0 invoice, Stripe may classify those customers as returning purchasers and reject the code. In that case, go to your Stripe integration settings and disable **Eligible for first-time order only**:

Document Stripe’s complete first-time-order rule.

Stripe also excludes customers who initiated a PaymentIntent, even if payment never completed, or subscribed to a trial, even if it was later canceled. Describe the trial and $0 invoice cases as examples of this broader prior-transaction rule.
